About this Item

Title

  • Sovetskiĭ Narym. Osvoenie Zapadno-Sibirskogo severa trudposelent︠s︡ami.

Other Title

  • Советский Нарым. Освоение Западно-Сибирского севера трудпоселенцами.

Summary

  • The commemorative album "Soviet Narym: Opening of the West-Siberian North by Labor Settlers, 1930-36" contains statistical, narrative, cartographic, and illustrated materials relating to the people who were forcibly settled in the Narym region by the Soviet authorities in the 1930s. The album, compiled in 1936 by the secret police of West Siberia as the result of a government investigation, sought to document for Moscow the opening of the Narym region by labor settlers. Housed for a time in police archives, the album later fell into private hands during a "purge" of these archives, but since 2002 has been in the custody of the Sector on the History of Sociocultural Development, Institute of History, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.
